XBox Exclusives

With the passing of E3 I have noticed something that should have become apparent a while ago. There is no need for XBox exclusives. I could understand when the 360 was the only next-gen console but now the PS3 is here 360 exclusives are redundant.

There is nothing on a technical front that can only be done on 360 so should be multi-platform. PS3 exclusives are obviously understandable as the technology is greater in the PS3 so it can run higher end games like Killzone 2 and MGS4. 360 exclusives now boil down to money.

Microsoft has so much money it is currently trying to consume the market, losing as much money as it wants so that soon it will become the only console around the problem with this is that Nintendo have the casual market and Sony have the hardcore. Microsoft trying to cover all has spread itself too thinly and is now stuck aimlessly meandering in the middle.

Well done Microsoft, you've fucked yourself over.
